Come
and learn about the public and private life of one of Britain's
greatest national heroes. Admiral Lord Nelson is Great Britain’s
greatest naval commander. A Norfolk man who rose from quite
humble origins, he played a major role in the rise and dominance
of the Royal Navy in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic
Wars. Winning victories at the battles of St Vincent, the
Nile and Copenhagen, Nelson’s final triumph was the
annihilation of the Franco-Spanish fleet at Trafalgar. William
Tyler will tell the compelling story of Nelson’s last
victory and his death at the height of battle.

Stevenage Locomotive Society
Chris Green and "The InterCity story 1964-2012"

Community Arts Centre, Roaring Meg

Well known railwayman Chris Green, former boss of ScotRail,
Network SouthEast and InterCity, comes to Stevenage to talk
to the Locomotive Society about the successful part of British
Rail which spawned a description of express rail travel in
Britain and other parts of the world.

So successful was BR InterCity that in today’s privately
operated railway, the InterCity franchises are keenly contested
when they come up for renewal and substantial premiums are
paid to the Government for the privilege to operate these
services.

In what is sure to be an interesting and intriguing presentation,
the Society welcome visitors, as well as Members, to this
evening on payment of £2 entrance fee. Light refreshments
are available at moderate prices during the mid-evening break
and we expect Chris’ talk to finish about 10.00pm.

The Battle of Britain Locomotive Society sales stand is
expected to be in attendance raising funds to complete the
overhaul of Battle of Britain Locomotive No.34081 “92
SQUADRON”.
